Just off the most easterly part of the inner ring road, this large Holt's house was boarded up in early 2010. It did a reasonable trade on match days - indeed, we had a good Saturday session in a busy Seven Stars around 2004 - but I suspect that was pretty much it for the week. The railway line in the background as you look back down Ashton Old Road towards town carries the disused line which once provided a link between Piccadilly Station to Manchester Victoria via Bradford and Collyhurst.
Seven Stars, Ashton Old Road. (c) man-mates.
It's now a Chinese supermarket. The building remains the same externally, and even has a sympathetic extension built on what was the car park, which blends in with the architecture quite well - you'd think it's been there forever!
